Download a receipt for an organization

1. 1

   Open the organization’s settings

   Click your profile picture, click Your organizations, then click Settings next to the organization.

   github.com/settings/organizations

   You need to be an organization owner or billing manager. Members don’t see the billing pages.

   Open Billing & Licensing → Payment history

   In the organization sidebar, click Billing & Licensing, then Payment history.

3. 3

   Download the receipt

   Click the download icon under Receipt or Invoice for each payment you need.

   If the organization belongs to an enterprise account, billing is handled at the enterprise level instead.

Download an invoice as an invoiced enterprise

This applies only to enterprises billed by invoice. Enterprises paying by card or PayPal use Payment history as above.

1. 1

   Open the enterprise’s Billing & Licensing tab

   Click your profile picture, click Your enterprises (or Enterprise), choose the enterprise, then click the Billing & Licensing tab at the top of the page.

2. 2

   Open the latest invoice

   On the Overview page, in the Latest invoice section, click View invoice to open a PDF. If every invoice is paid, this section is labeled Estimated next payment.

3. 3

   Download past invoices

   In the sidebar, click Past invoices, then click an invoice’s reference number in the REFERENCE column to download it.

Send billing emails to your finance team (organizations)

1. 1

   Open Additional billing details

   On the organization’s Billing & Licensing page, click Additional billing details.

2. 2

   Add an email recipient

   In the Email recipients table, click Add, enter the address and click Add. Use the Edit drop-down on a contact to remove it or make it the primary billing contact.

   Billing contacts receive payment notifications and budget and usage alerts. On an enterprise, the same table is under Billing contacts.

Where each kind of charge shows up

Billing dates and why your card shows extra lines

• For card and PayPal payments, the billing date is usually the day you started the paid plan, not the day you created the account.
• Metered products such as Actions, Codespaces and Packages run on a billing cycle from the first to the last day of the month.
• GitHub may place an authorization hold on your card when you start a subscription or trial, update a payment method, or build up significant metered usage. GitHub releases it right away, but your bank can take a few days.
• Each account (personal, organization, enterprise) has its own billing date, payment method and receipt, so one card can be charged on several days in a month.

Company address and tax details on receipts

Your billing address is in Billing & LicensingPayment information under Billing information. GitHub’s tax-certificate instructions ask you to make sure the address, City and Postal/Zip code fields are correct there.

GitHub’s current billing docs don’t describe a separate field for adding extra text, such as a VAT number, to receipts; the older help article on that topic now redirects to the payment information page. If you need extra details on a receipt, contact GitHub Support.

In the United States, organization owners, enterprise owners and billing managers on the GitHub Customer Agreement can upload a sales tax exemption certificate (JPG, PNG or PDF) in the Sales Tax section of Payment information.

Questions

I’m a member of the organization. How do I get a receipt?

Ask an organization owner or billing manager. Only those roles can open the organization’s billing pages. An owner can also add you as a billing manager or add your email under Additional billing details so payment notifications reach you.

Why do I see a GitHub charge that isn’t in Payment history?

It may be an authorization hold, which GitHub places when you start a subscription or trial, update a payment method or build up metered usage. Holds are temporary; GitHub suggests contacting your bank if one lasts longer than 10 business days.

Are Marketplace app charges on a separate receipt?

Usually not. Paid Marketplace apps share the account’s payment method and billing date, and your receipt lists the GitHub plan and app subscriptions together.

Can I get usage data as a spreadsheet?

Owners and billing managers can download CSV usage reports from the billing pages, and the REST API offers usage reports for users, organizations and enterprises. These are usage reports, not receipts.
